2. let makepkg install custom license automatically
When making packages whose licenses are "custom", we use PKGBUILD to
install the license file manually. Since it is a common step for
those packages, why not let makepkg do that automatically?
Just specify $licensefile in your PKGBUILD(like
$licensefile=LICENSE) and ensure the license file is in $startdir,
it then will be automatically install to $pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/
$pkgname/$licensefile when packaging.
Seems distro-specific (license path) to me. Pacman/makepkg aim to be
distro agnostic.
